HUNGARY 1956

Abstract:

To begin with, Hungarian‘s uprising which took place in autumn continues still to be historical event with controversial theories. Most of influential historians point out that there were two groups of people with difference views and perceptions of this case. According to them, the adherents of Stalinism considered the Hungarians upheaval as a counterrevolution of fascism and their opposers on the contrary concluded that the event was in the name of capitalism1. However, the done researches show that the actual situation was different. Referring to the prehistory of the revolution, the resentments take the origin from the World War II when the country was considered as a defeated country and compelled to pay reparations. It is well known that the country was agrarian and the reparation payments led to decline in economy. Initially, the country had a revolutionary experience and certain group consisting from the workers, since at the beginning of XX century these workers were active adherents of socialism and even had tried to establish it but failed. Consequently, the Red Army was accepted as supporters who could help to resurgence the idea of Bel Kun. Thus, it is evident that the leaders of Communist Party wanted to keep up the stability and save influence in the region and intentionally declared the national uprising of Hungary as a fascism act which could be threat to the regime in order to justify their response. So, this was a political step of the USSR.
